Food and beverage manufacturers face relentless pressure — high-speed lines, tight margins, sanitation requirements, and asset reliability demands that never let up. IRIS Foundry delivers AI pre-trained on your processes, connecting assets, lines, and people so you hit throughput targets, reduce waste, and keep production moving.
Generic manufacturing AI — designed for slower, more stable processes — struggles to interpret high-velocity food and beverage signals fast enough to drive action. IRIS Foundry closes that gap with pre-trained intelligence built around CIP/SIP cycles, thermal processes, filling and seaming lines, and packaging quality, so your team gets to insights in weeks, not quarters.
From micro-stops to sanitation compliance, IRIS Foundry addresses the real operational pressures in food and beverage manufacturing.
Line efficiency and throughput
Real-time detection of micro-stops, drift, and changeover inefficiencies. Keep high-speed lines running at target OEE without manual monitoring or reactive intervention.
Quality and food safety
AI vision and thermal monitoring ensure consistent sanitation, packaging integrity, and defect-free output across every shift and SKU—without slowing the line.
Asset reliability
Predict equipment failures before they happen on fillers, sealers, pasteurizers, and conveyors—reducing unplanned downtime and eliminating emergency maintenance cycles.
Energy and resource costs
Optimize CIP/SIP cycles, reduce thermal variability, and cut water, energy, and chemical use without compromising compliance or throughput targets.
Fragmented operational data
IRIS Foundry unifies MES, SCADA, historians, line sensors, and utility data into one governed, real-time operational picture across all sites and lines.
Skills gaps and workforce
AI copilots and AR-enabled work instructions put expert knowledge in the hands of every operator—reducing training burden and accelerating ramp-up for new hires.
Reduction in unplanned downtime. Global food and beverage manufacturer. Unified asset reliability view delivered in weeks.
